Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety, like other anxieties, involves fear of situations that we can not be certain of the outcome. Social anxiety is different in that it is fear of others' perceptions of us and that they will negatively judge and evaluate us. CBT and exposure to these fears is essential to overcoming these beliefs, thoughts, and avoidance/escape behavioral patterns.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Social anxiety can be painful and isolating, but it doesn't have to be. I understand why this is one of people's top fears. Talking in therapy about the worries you have and learning new ways to practice social skills as well as learning more accurate self talk and self appraisal can increase confidence and improve your social life.

David Schaffer, MSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (WV), Licensed Independent Social Worker (OH)
I particularly like working with people who experience anxiety of all forms. The first area of anxiety I developed a special interest in is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It really strikes me how "crazy" people feel when they struggle with obsessive thoughts and the compulsions that go along with them. When you are able to help people change their reaction to their obsessive thoughts, it is remarkable the improvement they can experience.
I enjoy the whole range of anxiety disorders from the worry of generalized anxiety to the body focus of panic to the avoidance reminders of traumatic experiences from posttraumatic stress. It feels like this is an area where I understand people's experiences and where the ways I tend to work with people seem to make a difference, often very quickly.

Pamela Angel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I specialize in social anxiety because I believe no one should have to live in fear of judgment or feel isolated by their own mind. Social anxiety is far more than just shyness—it is a, often debilitating, fear of being scrutinized that restricts careers, relationships, and daily life.
I help clients break the cycle of avoidance by using evidence-based tools, such as:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Challenging and reframing the automatic negative thoughts that fuel anxiety.
Gradual Exposure: Safely facing feared social situations to build lasting confidence.
Skill Development: Learning practical techniques for relaxation, conversation, and assertiveness.
My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can dismantle those barriers together, allowing you to re-engage with the world on your own terms. Social anxiety is highly treatable, and I am passionate about guiding clients toward freedom and connection.
